This off season has been fairly tame, as you can tell from the lack of posts around here, but this story should get you appropriately fired up.
I found myself recently visiting the construction site of our current stadium expansion. The construction is being undertaken by the Brasfield & Gorrie company, based out of Birmingham. While [...]

So, according to the rapsheet, the Alabama will be forced to “vacate some wins” as a result of possibly 200 athletes taking a few too many trips to the Alabama Supply Store, and what better time to take a vacation than summer? The kids are out of school committing crimes and spray-painting churches, the unfullfilling [...]

OK, disclaimer, Its insanely early to look at next years pro prospects that will spend the year in crimson and white, fucking ridiculously early, but, we are bored, people! BORED! And its fun to think about the select few of our Alabama brothers and sisters moving on and making lots of money.
There is plenty of [...]

What a difference a year makes. In the 2008 draft, Alabama sent 0 players in 7 rounds. Fucking embarrassing. Well, this year the Tide fared much better. We scoured the tubes to see what NFL fans thought of their incoming Alabama alum.

BUT, in the words of LSU bloggers And the Valley Shook “the 2007 Alabama Crimson [...]

Dr Saturday has a good piece on Viginia Tech; Tide vs Hokies kickoff in only about 5 months, jeeze time flies.
An Auburn frat-rodeo video is making the rounds; nothing really special, rednecks love big sweaty animals.
Regarding Andre Smith, Mel Kiper says that “Nick Saban has gone to bat for this kid” and thinks he won’t [...]

Well, we’re really happy about the Anthony Grant hire, here at the Tower of Bammer corporate headquarters. You have to like how quickly the Athletic Dept identified Grant as a candidate and went after him, and now Georgia is probably moving on to their plan D candidate, after getting the cold shoulder from Mike Anderson.
